Your Money Attitude Is Critical
Our money attitude is critical for health in this area. There are few who have explained it better than Napoleon Hill. It is a vast subject but here we will focus on key ideas he taught.
Eight Money Attitudes From Napoleon Hill
- Use Your Imagination
“All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination; Imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth.”
If we can imagine it, we can accomplish it.
“Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.”
- Ideas Are The Conception of Prosperity
“Just as our eyes need light in order to see, our minds need ideas in order to conceive.”
You cannot give birth to your dreams unless you are first impregnated with an idea.
- You Must Have A Plan
“Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.”
A precise, written plan is necessary for success.
“First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality.”
- You Need To Passionately Desire What You Want
“There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it.”
Jesus asked, “What do you want?” Do you know? You must know exactly what you want and then have a burning passion to obtain it.
- Think Your Positive Thoughts Repeatedly
“Any idea, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought.”
Don’t let others control your thought. The responsibility for what you think is yours and must reflect your imagination, not another’s.
- You Have To Take Action
“It is always your next move.”
Constant movement toward your goal is crucial. You must move forward until you have reached your imagined destination.
- You Must Work Hard
“Big pay and little responsibility are circumstances seldom found together.”
You cannot get something for nothing. But the price of health and love are worth it. The loss of these things is what costs you dearly.
“Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness.”
- You Can’t Let Failure Dishearten You
“Edison failed 10,000 times before he made the electric light. Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times.”
Failure is just part of the process of your journey toward success. Failure shows you what doesn’t work so that you can more clearly pursue what does. Failure is not a sign to give up. It is only a message that you need to adjust your plans until you obtain the desired results. The greater the achievement, the more intense the failure can be.
“When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.”
Great Rewards
This is just a crash course. There are many resources you can tap into that expand and develop these ideas. These skills are not just for financial health. They cut across the scope of life. If you learn them here, you will benefit in many other areas also. Take some time and effort to study them and put them into place; to sharpen your money attitude. It will pay big dividends.
